      sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files · 12633e80
      由 Nathan Fontenot 提交于 
      Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI.  There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.

In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release.  The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.

This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.

The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

      powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state · 3aa565f5
      由 Gautham R Shenoy 提交于 
      When a CPU is offlined on POWER currently, we call rtas_stop_self() and hand
the CPU back to the resource pool. This path is used for DLPAR which will
cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside.

This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined.
On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with
latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation,
instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor
while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint
to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline
operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to
returning it to the resource pool.

The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the
preferred_offline_state() which can be either
- CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling
  rtas_stop_self()

- CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency
  hint specifier.

The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the
preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking
cpu_down().

The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable
CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.

      Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default" · d4da6c9c
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This reverts commit d0646f7b, as
requested by Eric Sandeen.

It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get
mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match.

Quoth Eric:

   "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a
    bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is
    not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the
    initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad
    checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem.

    But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code.

    We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at
    this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert
    the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good
    power-fail testing with the fixes in place."

      virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h · e95646c3
      由 Christian Borntraeger 提交于 
      Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.
